How he treats
The approach matters more than the certificate, because the approach is what you feel in the chair. His, in four lines:
He suggests only what you need, and tells you why. If your teeth are fine, that is what you hear. If there is work to do, you understand what it is and why before you decide anything.
He protects the tooth before he thinks about extraction. Many teeth can be kept with a filling, a root canal or a crown; extraction is the last option, not the first. How is it decided? Extraction or root canal.
Children and nervous patients get more time. No rushing. A child goes at their own pace, and an adult who is nervous says so at the start and we go at theirs. If the visit is hard for you, this page is for you.
Laughing gas is available for children and adults. A small mask over the nose, you stay awake and can talk, the level is adjusted during the appointment, and it ends with pure oxygen.
And the cost? It is discussed after the examination, not before, because there is no figure for something nobody has looked at. The detail is on what decides the cost of your treatment.
His work with patients with special needs
In his own words
“Every patient deserves to feel safe, understood, and confident in their smile. Whether I'm treating a child, an adult, or a patient with special needs, my goal is to provide care that is gentle, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual.”
Dentistry for patients with special needs is a service here, not an exception: for people with developmental, physical or medical challenges, in a safe and calm setting, with care arranged around each person.
If you have a child or a relative with special needs, tell us what puts them at ease and what they need before the appointment, so we can prepare the time and the room around them.
